  18. “The tragedy of life does not lie in not reaching your goals. It lies in not having goals to reach.It isn’t a calamity to die with your dreams unfulfilled,But it is a calamity not to dream.It isn’t a disgrace to not reach the stars,But it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for.So aim high, dream big dreams,And remember everything is possible if you just believe.”Karoly von Toros, quoting Benjamin E Mays.
